👋 Influenza & RSV related updates in RCKMS

[This post is eCR-related and cross-posted in eCR/RCKMS Basecamp & CSTE eCR Workgroup Connect forums. Sharing here for any feedback from the ELR community]

Ahead of the anticipated respiratory disease season, the RCKMS team is updating the conditions listed below primarily with the addition of timeboxing rules as requested by many jurisdictions:

  1. Influenza-Associated Mortality
  2. Influenza-associated pediatric mortality
  3. Novel Influenza A Virus Infection
  4. Influenza-like Illness (ILI)
  5. Respiratory Syncytial Virus (RSV)-Associated Mortality
Note: Influenza-Associated Hospitalizations will not receive any timeboxing updates since there are no clinical diagnosis/problem criteria
 
Timelines for these updates in RCKMS will be shared soon. In addition to updating the existing conditions, the RCKMS team is considering preparing separate reporting specifications for Influenza & Respiratory Syncytial Virus (RSV). We recognize that the existing conditions may be authored in RCKMS to receive Influenza & RSV reports (not associated with hospitalization or mortality), and would like to hear your thoughts on adding Influenza & RSV as separate conditions in RCKMS (to be authored separately from the existing conditions). We have a few questions for you:
  • Has your jurisdiction considered adding (or have already added) Influenza or RSV (regardless of hospitalization or mortality) to your list of reportable conditions to be reported by providers via eCR (recognizing that very few if any jurisdictions would ask that these be manually reported by providers)?
  • For those jurisdictions that may currently have RSV or Influenza reportable by laboratories via ELR, are you considering making them reportable via eCR as well?
Please reply to this thread with your responses and comments. Thank you!
